Luckily, his jurisdiction is exemplary in everything, so it’s not like he should be spending his time improving healthcare access, education, or preventing crime.

Does anyone else remember when Rs were in a tizzy because someone didn’t wear a US flag lapel pin? Was it Obama, or some other Dem? Either way, it was ridiculous, but it does seem odd to me that the ones with the gun pins don’t also have US flags.

Oh, yes, some of the 500m dash pins for those guys, and maybe something to do with “leaps of logic” for most of the rest of them.
Instead of shot put, it could be the “buck pass.”

Not that it’s that important, but I believe he’s saying “in Cannon”—i.e., his office in Washington is in Cannon HOB (House Office Building)

Since the “AR” in AR-xx stands for the company named ArmaLite, isn’t this, in essence, an advertisement for a product from a private business on a public servant?
